Who in blazes invented the clamshell packaging?! The evil bastid!
I have tried EVERYTHING to open. Chainsaws, flame throwers, machetes. Then I saw this product and thought YES! But wait......HOW DO I OPEN THIS!!
Wait! I'll just use a pair of scissors but HOW DO I GET TO THEM?!
This is a plot by emergency rooms and hospitals isn't it?
Thousands Injured by "Diabolical" Packaging
http://www.treehugger.com/green-food...packaging.html
Around six thousand people a year wind up in emergency rooms with lacerations and puncture wounds caused by clamshell/oyster packaging. Some injuries are caused by the jagged edges of half-opened, hard-plastic wrappers. Others occur when the a frustrated consumers use tools such as knives, scissors or wire cutters. These implements, often taken up in anger, have a tendency to glance off the nigh-impenetrable packaging and wound the hands that wield them. The clamshell packaging is favored by retailers and manufacturers. The clear plastic allows consumers to see the product they are purchasing. The tough exterior deters theft and protects the devices within from damage. Oyster packaging also instills the consumer with a subconscious feeling that their purchase is pristine, untouched by human hands. Ironically, the first human hands to touch the product out of the package are often injured.
